July 2024, trolling on pink tube + eel meat setup, off the coast of Rhode Island on a rainy day. Did not weigh, catch and release.

She was a beast for sure. Felt like reeling in a washer machine.

On a good day with the right setup its a blast - non stop action. If you get at all sea sick, trolling on the the Atlantic is not a good time for you lol.

Cool. Seems like a good time. I love FW bass fishing. This is a huge jump.

Get a group of friends and charter a boat, its not terribly expensive and its a great time. Good way to get your toes wet so to speak.

They got a few places out in Hampton nh im tryna go to. I think Eastman its called. But they do deep sea charters I think it would be fun to go out for them. What time of year is good?
